Archival Notice

Today, we’re officially archiving this project. First and foremost, Thank You. πŸ™

What started as an idea grew into something much bigger because of this community. Your pull requests, bug reports, feature suggestions, stars, blog posts, tweets, and words of encouragement made this project what it is. The trust you placed in us and the time you invested here truly meant a lot.

As we focus on something new, the repository will remain available in read-only mode for anyone who finds it useful. If you’d like to fork it, build on it, or take it in a new direction, we wholeheartedly encourage that. We are also changing the license to a more permissive Apache 2.0 license.

Open source is about shared learning and shared progress β€” and we’re deeply grateful to have been part of that journey with you.

Thank you again for the support and the collaboration. πŸ™

Open Source Observability that is πŸ’₯πŸ’₯ 100x πŸ’₯πŸ’₯ more efficient than Splunk

Single binary for Logs 🎯, Metrics 🎯 and Traces 🎯.

Cut down your Splunk bill by ⚑ ⚑ 90% ⚑ ⚑

Why SigLens:

Our experience servicing 10,000+ engineers with Observability tools taught us a few things:

  • Developers have to jump through different tools for logs, metrics, traces
  • Splunk, DataDog, NewRelic are very expensive πŸ’Έ πŸ’Έ πŸ’Έ
  • ElasticSearch takes too many machines, cluster maintenance is hard πŸ‘©β€πŸ’»πŸ‘©β€πŸ’»
  • Grafana Loki has slow query performance 🐌🐌

Armed with decades of experience in monitoring domain, we set out to build a observability DB from the ground up, uniquely suited for logs, metrics and traces with zero external dependencies. A single binary that you can run on your laptop and process 8 TB/day.
